The Minnesota twins have just acquired Toronto Righty Reliver Jeff Hoffman per Jeff Passan in a deal that includes LHP Dassan Hill, RHP Jhon Klien and INF Dameruy Pena. Minnesota #7 and #17 Ranked prospects. Hoffman will remain under team control until the end of the 2027 season and will most likely share late inning roles with Minter and Gomez.
If we keep everyone at the deadline and actually upgrade our bullpen from makes me want to jump of a cliff to solid I think we can squeeze into a wild card spot but yet again I'm known for being a optimist.
Theyres some really good ones I've read recently that are about baseball and both of them also go beyond the game
The heat by Mike Lupica-
About a kid and his brother who are not technically U.S Citazens and both of their Parents are deceased so they work with they're friend the catcher named Manny who brings the books comedic side to keep they're identy a secret but the plan is that the pitcher who throws 80 MPH at age 14 almost get caught by a opposing team and he has to get investigated by his crushes dad.
The pitcher by Mike lupica-
A kid and his mom both immigrants who ran away from their abusive father and have to figure out his control with elite velocity for his age he gets the help from the former major leauge pitcher to try and make the high school team when he finally gets accepted his mom falls into a coma also the pitcher had just fell in love with the mom.
And then Derek Jeter had a series about his life as a kid and how he handled his friends and racism.
Really great books they all have good endings but great challenges that go beyond the game of baseball. Would 10/10 Recomend these books. Probably some of the best books I've ever read.
The AL Central becomes so aggressively mediocre by August that the Twins, White Sox, and Guardians all try to intentionally lose games to avoid having to play in the postseason. The Twins accidentally win the division on a walk-off error when a rogue Target Field seagull steals the baseball. And then They sweep the Yankees in the Wild Card round because the simulation finally broke.
I’d get out more if the AL Central standings didn't make me want to curl up into a ball. The Twins are single-handedly ruining my birthday weekend. Thanks for the reality check though, I’m going to go eat some cake and completely forget about our record for the night! 🎂.
Forget Roster Resource profiles, this is the kind of high-value utility work that keeps a relationship above .500. Absolute boyfriend of the year material right there.
This is the exact level of hyper-specific roster dedication that makes this forum great. Most people collect MVPs, you collect 1.0 WAR legends. I love it.
That’s just 'Morneau-speak' for: That was an absolute, unmitigated disaster, but my Canadian politeness physically won't let me say it out loud on television.
Cooked, this rotation is. Begun, the Clone Wars have... which is great, because we desperately need to clone whoever is healthy -Master Yoda (Grand master of the Jedi Order)
If Alan Anderson blows a fastball right past Andy Allanson, you know Gordo is screaming: 'TOUCH 'EM ALL... wait, no, STRIKE 'EM ALL!' while Gladden just sits there trying to figure out which name he just said
